Why We Built Coase

Great businesses are built on comparative advantage. You, quite correctly, should hope that your accounting firm doesn't try their hand at brain surgery. It's highly unlikely that you'd use a career Big Law attorney to handle your divorce and vice versa. You have a favorite coffee shop for a reason that is unique to you. Put another way, we live in an economy of specialty. Specialty, in any serious form, requires differentiation.

Our goal at Coase is to remove barriers to differentiation. Right now, general-purpose intelligence is a rented commodity available to you and your fiercest competitors in equal measure. The lion's share of value in AI will therefore come as a result of widely distributed, maximally specific models.

To create that value, we're building managed infrastructure for turning an organization's proprietary data and expertise into specialized models that outperform and undercut general-purpose AI on specific tasks, without needing to hire ML talent or manage compute resources until you're ready. This customization produces owned models that can solve a broad spectrum of problems. From finding optimal corporate strategy to automating entire business functions, we shape the technology to fit the customer's needs rather than the other way around (which has become far too common).

By meeting customers where they are and supporting them as their requirements get more technical and complex, we provide them with durable, differentiated advantages on top of their data that improve over time. This hands-on obsession with client success across a wide range of tasks lets us develop a more robust product that we can forward back onto our users while respecting their security boundary and information sovereignty requirements.

We're relentless about results and security because we founded Coase on the belief that organizations can uniquely understand and deliver for their customers if they're empowered with the best technology. Data is the dormant asset that makes this possible; it must be respected as such.

Ensuring everyone can benefit from the transition to an AI-first economy is the most important project of the decade. If you'd like to help, think about joining us.
